"Sand > glass"

Took this crystal down to the beach to try to get a "Sand to glass" theme, going to continue the theme with some other glass objects when I get the chancethen start on a tree to furniture project!

Please be honest, these are really for my own pleasure only, but cc is always what I ask for in order to improve!

Any input?

The first image should just be trashed, it's terribly out of focus. I'm not sure what you were going for with the other two. They are both pretty flat and dull. Try to introduce a little more depth rather than just aiming down on your piece of glass.

I'd go with a lower angle too. As in get the camera to ground level so you can see the horizon in the distance. I'd go as wide angle as you could go with it too and get as close to the gem as you can. Of course everyone has different taste.
